11 Random facts about me:
1. I love tattoos. A lot. I would have both arms and legs covered if I had the $$. Oh, and if my husband would let me!
2. I love NASCAR. Jimmie Johnson, #48 Lowes Racing car is my favorite driver. He rocks!
3. I'm a dog person. Cats are ok, but dogs make me smile!
4. I am born and raised in the great state of GA. My husband and I are about to move 3000 miles away to CA. Holy freaking out, Batman!
5. I have one kid and I'm totally happy about that. I'd always planned to have 2, but just never had the desire to take the plunge once the one kiddo was here. He's my reason for getting up every day and working as hard as I do!
6. I got married at 20. I don't recommend it for everyone, but fortunately it worked for ME. I'm celebrating 14 years of marriage the DAY before we leave for CA. What a gift!
7. I'm obsessed with the West Coast. Guess that's a big reason as to why we're moving there in a week!
8. I'm not a great photographer, and find fancy pants cameras painfully boring to try and operate. Give me my iPhone camera any day!
9. I regularly go out and about with no makeup on. I mean NONE. When I do put some on, people tend not to recognize me, lol!
10. I'm kind of addicted to the "Real Housewives" franchises. Except for Atl, which is ironic since I live there.
11. Sadly, I'm pretty disorganized. Trying to work on that, though!
11 questions for me:
1. What's your earliest horse-related memory and have you photographs from the early days to share? (Please say yes & post them!)
My earliest horse related memory is of climbing into the saddle for the FIRST time, and my instructor saying, "Now, this is going to feel weird! Hold on!" From that moment on, I was addicted. ONE pic, and this is the very first horse show I got to ride in!

| Me and Chance. Maybe ... 11 years old? |
2. What did you have for lunch today?
Warmed up mexican casserole from last night! Yummy ...
3. Have you any pets? If yes names & info please ;-)
YES! Peytan, a 6 year old Siberian Husky female, and Jacey, a 3 year old tan and white Chihuahua mix, female also.
4. Who is your sporting hero/idol?
I suppose that would be Jimmie Johnson. Not only is he a first class driver, he's also a humanitarian and a gentleman.
5. Have you ever ridden a horse on a beach/in the sea?
YES! Hilton Head SC, took a trail ride on the beach. We couldn't go faster than a walk, but I was walking in the water which was pretty cool!
6. Do you live to work or work to live?
Work to live, for sure.
7. Have you traveled to other countries? If yes, which ones?
Yep! Done lots of cruises, so gone to many of the Caribbean islands. St. Lucia, St. Maarten, Barbados, Belize, the Bahamas, Mexico, Panama, Grand Cayman, and Jamaica are a few of them. I've also been to Australia and New Zealand which was AMAZING.
8. Do you listen to music while you ride? Mp3 with personal music or radio?
I do not. I don't like to ride with my phone in my pocket, and I have never found ANY ear buds that will actually stay in my ears. I mean ... none.
9. Have you read Fifty Shades of Grey? If not I suggest you check the link above for a good laugh.
I'm ashamed to say I have not read Fifty Shades:(
10. What was your first horse called? Tell us a bit about them, age/breed7disciplines worked on together...
My Horse Tiki that I bought 5 years ago was my FIRST one. He was named Roy's Legacy, I renamed him Ricochet ... we began in the sport of Jumpers and ended up learning to event together. He is 10 years old, and hopefully will go home with his new 12 year old child this weekend ...
11. What's your favourite song on the radio at the moment?
Hmmm. Got to be "Reckless", by Jeremy Camp:)
11 questions from me:
1. When you ride, do you cross train disciplines? Meaning, have you ever slapped a western saddle on your hunter? Taken your eventer to the hunter ring? Done a dressage show with your endurance Arab?
2. TV watcher or no?
3. Smart phone, or not smart phone?
4. Are you a neat freak? Or does a little dust on the picture frames not bother you?
5. If you could live ANYWHERE in the entire world, where would it be?
6. If you had an hour of down time... would you take a nap, or go for a run?
7. Do you color your hair? Why or why not?
8. Other than horses ... what would you consider your favorite activity? Or hobby?
9. Would you flat out gallop your horse in an open field? Have you?
10. Do you care if you're watching HD TV? Or is it just your SO that cares? Or do NEITHER of you care?
11. Can you drive a trailer? Are you comfortable doing it, or does it make your palms sweat?

ReplyDeleteI am so jealous that you've been to Australia and NZ - they are well up there on my to go-to places. Canada id first though as my sister is moving there at the end of next month on a 2 year visa - so who knows if she'll ever come back depending on how it goes! :p
Don't bother reading the actual 50 shades book, read those blog entries i linked to instead - much more rewarding reading! :p
